	<title><![CDATA[New version of Modeller, 9.13]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>The new version of Modeller, 9.13, is now available for download! Please see the download page at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsalilab.org%2Fmodeller%2F&amp;h=mAQG5wo_Z&amp;enc=AZOoq2B7BxT95AT3Mw3za3VlbmRFke43YMI5vAjCAbBlIcf3bptn8pmFC1Idxrssy98117S03IgdcNmEWcQBi9bmi8Or_ut1D1yybt1ZonvPoCT3_LOglcYV7o6bEaa442_6LhbjefEaelkq0aq6dl0w&amp;s=1" target="_blank">http://salilab.org/modeller/</a> for more information.</p><p><img src="http://salilab.org/modeller/gifs/modeller.jpg" alt="image" width="848" height="272" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"><br /> <br /> If you have a license key for Modeller 8 or 9, there is no need to reregister for Modeller 9.13 - the same license key will work. (It won't <span>do any harm to reregister if you want to, though!)<br /> <br /> 9.13 is primarily a bugfix release relative to the last public release(9.12). Major user-visible changes include:<br /> <br /> # Modeller now includes a variety of SOAP (statistically optimized atomic potential) scores for assessing proteins, loops, and interfaces.<br /> <br /> # The Lennard-Jones interaction energy is now artificially truncated at very short distance; this makes simulations with poor starting conditions much less likely to 'blow up'.<br /> <br /> # model.get_insertions(), model.get_deletions() and model.loops() now have an include_termini option; if False, residue ranges that include chain termini are excluded from the output.<br /> <br /> See the Modeller manual for a full change log: <a href="http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node39.html" target="_blank">http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node39.html</a><br /> <br /> If you encounter bugs in Modeller 9.13, please see <a href="http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node10.html" target="_blank">http://salilab.org/modeller/9.13/manual/node10.html</a> for information on how to report them.</span></p><p><span>Reference:</span></p><p><span>http://salilab.org/modeller/</span></p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[The DNA of a Successful Bioinformatician decoded !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Many blogs exist about successful bioinformatician, but this blog so far now is my personal view on characteristics of successful bioinformatician or computational biologist. &nbsp;Hmm &hellip; of course these views are subjective to my own personal experiences and therefore I don't claim that the view listed here is complete. As a human, I don&rsquo;t take them too serious. The success must not be the only target of your work. The target is to work on your own virtues; some of those virtues are the topic of this blog.</p><p><img src="http://bioinformaticsonline.com/mod/photo/genome_decode.png" alt="image" width="509" height="458" style="border: 0px; border: 0px;"><br /> <br /> <strong>1. Update new things continuously<br /></strong>As per my personal experience, it&rsquo;s not always easy to work as a bioinformatician! &nbsp;There are couple of reasons to say that; First computational part of biology make our life&rsquo;s a little harder compared to other professional categories. The fact - for instance - that the technology cycle in the bioinformatics world is very short, the actual knowledge becomes outdated in a few months or years. Therefore, we need to learn continuously - new things get important. Second, to stay on top of things we really need the strong will to be good at our job. That's probably the most important characteristic to bioinformatician. They are usually an excellent knowledge worker with great technical abilities, and have the will to be that over decades!<br /> <br /> <strong>2. Avoid the sentence </strong><strong>"I did not know what to do!"</strong><br /> In our computational biology lab, we generally face lots of technical problems. But as you know, it's impossible to know everything to do the computational biology jobs ( Yup.. because you need diverse and multidisciplinary knowledge to understand biological problems and resolve their respective solutions), therefore it's absolutely necessary that a bioinformatician finds its way through a new topic. How I typically do that is I use google and I talk to other experts in our laboratory or online biostar community to find out what they think. "I did not know what to do!" should not be an argument for us.<strong><br /><br /> <strong>3. To make oneself useful</strong></strong><br /> Several time it does happen, you finished our task earlier than expected; in such cases if you have some time left then: Take a coffee and play chess; reversi, etc. In my case I take a rest. Afterwards I think about what I could do that helps the team to achieve its targets, 'cause some of my team mates probably didn't finish! (at least if I didn't met them at coffee bar !!)</p><p><strong>4. Care for all</strong><br /> During my rigorous research duration; I attended several workshop organized by my University departments. I had a discussion with other research fellow, professors; I generally ask &hellip; what it really takes to make a team successful or to be a successful research leader. They always said: "Well, you need some caring people!" I think there is a lot truth in that statement. If we do not care about quality, timelines, good team culture, respectful communication (!!), clean code, if all this doesn&rsquo;t matter to us, then I believe the probability is higher that we fail in research and analysis. <br /> <br /> <strong>5. Be good with people</strong><br /> Because bioinformatician and computational biologist jobs typically involves to work in a (most wanted J cross-departmental!) team, therefore it's important that we're (more or less) good in dealing with other individuals. Everyone have their own strengths and weaknesses, just like us. It's important to treat all the research team mates with respect, regardless of their technical competence or contributions. Of course, sometimes people deserve a clear statement (!!!), but try to do these things one-on-one. Make sure nobody loses his face. Attend the meetings at the coffee bar; be good at table top soccer and go out once in a while to have a beer with your team. You know what I'm talking about.</p><p>At the end of a week I look back and I ask myself what I have produced. This could be paperwork, community days or (best!!) programming code. Always remember there is always a solution to a problem. Most of the times there are at least three solutions. So, don&rsquo;t just blame, suggest a solution.<br /> <br /> That's it. I am looking forward to your thoughts and comments!</p>]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>Linux, free operating system for computers, provides several powerful admin tools and utilities which will help you to manage your systems effectively and handle huge amount of genomic/biological data with an ease. The field of bioinformatics relies heavily on Linux-based computers and software. Although most bioinformatics programs can be compiled to run. If you don&rsquo;t know what these no so user-friendly tools are and how to use them, you could be spending lot of time trying to perform even the basic admin tasks. The focus of this linux series is to help you understand system admin as well as basic tools, which will help you to become an effective bioinformatician and computational biologist.<br /><br /></p><p>For knowledge about Linux and their importance amongst bioinformatician plesae read this article "<a href="http://www.ualberta.ca/~stothard/downloads/linux_for_bioinformatics.pdf">An introduction to Linux for bioinformatics</a>" by Paul Stothard.</p><p>Linux cheat sheet at http://bioinformaticsonline.com/file/view/87/linux-cheat-sheet</p><p>Please browse for futher useful linux pages on right hand side ...</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Keep Your Important SSH Session Running when You Disconnect from Server !!!]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>As a Bioinformatician/ Computational biologist we swim in the ocean of genomic/proteomics data, and play with them with an ease. In our day to day simulation, analysis, comparative study we do need to run exhaustive programs, which might take more than a week. In such cases we do need to disconnect from sever in a way that our program/session should not get terminated. To do so there are lots of software, tools such as tmux ( <a href="http://tmux.sourceforge.net/">http://tmux.sourceforge.net/</a>, nohup (<a href="http://ss64.com/bash/nohup.html">http://ss64.com/bash/nohup.html</a>) , byobu (<a href="https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/byobu.html">https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/byobu.html</a>) and other commands (disown -a &amp;&amp; exit), but following are the ones I use the most.</p><p>Screen is like a window manager for your console. It will allow you to keep multiple terminal sessions running and easily switch between them. It also protects you from disconnection, because the screen session doesn&rsquo;t end when you get disconnected.<br /><br />You&rsquo;ll need to make sure that screen is installed on the server you are connecting to. If that server is Ubuntu or Debian, just use this command:<br /><br />sudo apt-get install screen<br /><br />Now you can start a new screen session by just typing screen at the command line. You&rsquo;ll be shown some information about screen. Hit enter, and you&rsquo;ll be at a normal prompt.<br /><br /><strong>To disconnect (but leave the session running)</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + D in immediate succession. You will see the message [detached]<br /><br /><strong>To reconnect to an already running session</strong><br /><br />screen -r<br /><br /><strong>To reconnect to an existing session, or create a new one if none exists</strong><br /><br />screen -D -r<br /><br /><strong>To create a new window inside of a running screen session</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then C in immediate succession. You will see a new prompt.<br /><br /><strong>To switch from one screen window to another</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then Ctrl + A in immediate succession.<br /><br /><strong>To list open screen windows</strong><br /><br />Hit Ctrl + A and then W in immediate succession</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[Purge Haplotigs: Pipeline to help with curating heterozygous diploid genome assemblies]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>Some parts of a genome may have a very high degree of heterozygosity. This causes contigs for both haplotypes of that part of the genome to be assembled as separate primary contigs, rather than as a contig and an associated haplotig. This can be an issue for downstream analysis whether you're working on the haploid or phased-diploid assembly.</p>
<p><span>Identify pairs of contigs that are syntenic and move one of them to the haplotig 'pool'. The pipeline uses mapped read coverage and Minimap2 alignments to determine which contigs to keep for the haploid assembly. Dotplots are optionally produced for all flagged contig matches, juxtaposed with read-coverage, to help the user determine the proper assignment of any remaining ambiguous contigs. The pipeline will run on either a haploid assembly (i.e. Canu, FALCON or FALCON-Unzip primary contigs) or on a phased-diploid assembly (i.e. FALCON-Unzip primary contigs + haplotigs). Here are&nbsp;</span><a href="https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs/wiki/Examples">two examples</a><span>&nbsp;of how Purge Haplotigs can improve a haploid and diploid assembly.</span></p><p>Address of the bookmark: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/mroachawri/purge_haplotigs</a></p>]]></description>
